After perusing TikTok, I decided to try 3 different varieties: Hot Wings Garlic Wings BBQ Wings But after making all these wings, it occurs to me that chicken wings are after all the least desirable part of the chicken. Not much meat and a whole lot of rubbery, fatty skin. To make the most of … Read more
I ended up with a whole lot of turkey broth this year after Thanksgiving. After several bowls of regular turkey-rice soup, I started thinking about what else is good to make with super-rich bone broth. The obvious first answer – ramen! I googled and didn’t find any super-awesome recipes. But I got the basic idea … Read more

After eating all the regular turkey-rice soup I could take (and several batches of ramen), I started thinking about what else is good to make with good broth. Mexican chicken soup!

I’ve been on a Chinese food kick lately, mostly working off recipes on the Woks of Life website, which was recommended to me by Theresa Mah. Their pad thai proclaimed to have “authentic” flavor, so I made it as directed, including the dried shrimp. As soon as I dumped the stuff in the pan though, … Read more
